I just watched a short animation based on Ainulindale, the Music of the Ainur (the Middle-earth creation story). It was pretty stunning. I love how abstract the Ainur are until they take on humanoid form. My only quibble is that it showed a round world, rather than the flat Arda from the early stories (and yes, that's me in the comment section bringing this up. I'm such a purist  ). Check it out. And make sure to wait after the credits for a Marvel-style teaser. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gy7a6yUc8zo |

I enjoyed it very much...
Except I had trouble with the copyright infringement and the lack of credit to the narrator, Martin Shaw who did the audiobook version of Sil. (Unless I blinked and did not see it.)

(Unless I blinked and did not see it.) Fan Is that where that came from? Hmm, yeah, that's a little shady. This is probably just an exercise in practicing animation skills for these creators so they're not making any money off of it. Still, they should have credited him. |

It ended up bothering me too much to let it go...so I left a comment. They replied "Ooops." Added the credit to Martin Shaw to the description. I found their website: willow-productions.com/They are a commercial company in Singapore. Kinda doubt they are worried about copyrights. Fan |

I enjoyed this short. Very well done. I really got the feeling of Arda being created like "the big bang theory" especially with Melkor's additions/interference. It seems the world was depicted as round, but with the placement of the two lamps (in the middle of the globe--not on the north and south poles), they were only placed in what seemed to be the general Arda location--at least as I always pictured it in relation to the whole globe in my own mind as I read The Silmarillion.
